# Houston Bike Bar: Agent-Direct Score D (45.1%) Site: http://www.houstonbikebar.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/houstonbikebar.com Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Houston Bike Bar is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Houston Bike Bar's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Xola. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://checkout.xola.com/index.html#seller/572871b2e017989c338b45ba (through xola acting for the business) - Phone: +18322412233 - Address: 1012 Congress St, Houston 77002-1703 - Prices: 46 prices on the site, the middle one $46.00 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Houston Bike Bar that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Joyride Houston (230 m): https://directindex.org/r/joyrideus.com - Art Club (700 m): https://directindex.org/r/artclubhtx.com ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (TouristAttraction, Museum, TravelAgency or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **46 prices on the landing page, the middle one $46.00.** ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Houston Bike Bar > local business in 1012 Congress St, Houston 77002-1703, Houston tours, attractions and museums.
